WE ATHER-STRIP FOR WINDOWS.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, JOHN E. NVILLIAMS, citizen o'll the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county ol' Montgomery and State oi' Ohio, have invented certain new and usei'ul Improvements in vieathertrips lor /Vindows; and I do declare the 'following to bea full, clear, and exact description oi" the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures ol' reference marked thereon, which l'orm a part oi' this specification.

This invention relates to new and uselul improvements in weather strips l'or windows.

The object oi the invention is to provide a metallic weather strip oll such a construction as to ei'fectually prevent air and dust `from entering between the window sash and frame or arting strip.

gy the use of my improved weather strip, the air is prevented from initially entering,l between the parting strip and the weather strip, the object being to provide a weather strip that will exclude any initial entrance ol' the air around the parting` strip and between the parting strip and the weather strip.

In the accompanying` drawings,-F1gure 1, is a horizontal sectional view ol' one side oll the window 'frame above the lower or movable sash. Fig. 2, is an enlarged horizontal sectional view through a portion ol' the window -frame, lower sash, parting strip and the weather strip. Fig. 3, is an enlarged cross sectional view of the movable weather strip attachable to the window sash. L1, is a similar view of the stationary weather strip attachable to the window frame and the sash-parting strip and fitting,` within the sash-weather strip.

In a detail description of the invention, similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts.

Two metallic strips are assembled with each window sash, one iittingl within the other, and when so assembled they provide an effective barrier to the entrance oi' any air or dust at the outer side of the parting strip. One of these metallic weather strips, towit-that shown in Fig. 3, consists oi' a chair nel strip having two sides 1 and 2 with an intervening V-shaped recess, and the outer side being overlapped by a portion 3 which terminates in a right angled extension 4:. The side 1 of this strip terminates in a longi Specification of Letters Patent.

tudinal rigiit-angleilv lold 5 which is provided with a counter-sunk opening` through whichl a screw (i or a suitable .number oll such screws penetrate in attar-,hingI the strip to the window sash 7. The window sash on the outer side and at the longitudinal edges is provided with suitable chamlers or grooves to receive the weather strip so l'ormed, one portion ol' which, to-wit-the overturned portion 5 being attached to the window sash by a suitable number oi' counter-sunk screws 6, and the other portion or terminal t ol` said weather strip beingI secured to the window sash by projecting it into that portion ol' the groove in the window sash provided therefor. The strip cooperating with the strip thus described, projects within the window sash strip and is bent to i'orm two longitudinal portions S and 9 which conl'orm to the window sash strip and the edges or terminals 10 and 11 oll which are bent at right angles. The edge or terminal 10 is secured to the window lrame on each side ol' the sash by a suitable number oil nails 12, and the edge or terminal 11 is projected into a suitable groove in the partingI strip 13, which strips as is well known separate the u )per and lower sashes oi' the window. lt will thus be seen that the weather strip shown in Fig. 4, is stationary and projects within the movable weather strip on the window sash. The terminal 11 extending into the parting strip 13 excludes the lpassage ol' any air or dust between the parting strip and the window sash and frame. The terminal 4 ol' the sash window strip, together with the outer overlapped ortion 3, prevents air or dust l'rom entering )etween the outer 'l'ace ol' the window sash and the outer side ol' the parting strip, and the two weather strips combined and attached as shown and described, provide an efficient barrier to the possible entrance ol' air or dust.

The metallic strips thus described are constructed of a suitable quality of sheet metal, and the application of said strips does not necessitate any material change in the window structure, either the window frame or the sash, beyond providine'lthe necessary grooves in the window sash lor the sash strip.

Having,l describedv my invention, l claim:

1. In a weather strip, a movable strip attachable to a window sash and comprising a metallic channel strip, one side of which is overlapped throughout its length and terniinates in a right-angled extension which is secured to the Window sash, and the other side of Which terininates in substantially a longitudinal right-angled extension which is secured to the window sash, and a metallic channel strip projected into the sash strip and having one Side thereof terminated at a right angle and secured to the parting strip, and the other side thereof terminating in substantially a right angle and secured to the Window traine.

2. ln a Weather strip for WindowsI a inovable strip bent to provide a longitudinal channel, one side of said strip being overlapped throughout its length and lying adj acent to the window sash parting Strip, said overlapped portion terminating in a tongue which is secured in the WindowT sash, and the other side of said strip terminating in a tongue which is secured to the edge of the Window sash, a stationary Weather strip projected into the longitudinal channel of the movable Weather strip and having one longitudinal edge thereof secured to the parting strip and the other longitudinal edge secured to the Window fralne.

3. ln a Weather strip for Windows, a lnetallie strip bent longitudinally to provide a V-shaped groove in cross section, the outer side of said strip being overlapped with the terminal of the overlapped portion projected into the side of the sash, and the inner side of Said Strip being secured to the edge of the sash, a second metallic strip projected into the groove of the sash strip, the outer side of said last-named strip being secured to the parting strip, and the inner side thereof being secured to the Window frame.

ln testimony whereof l a'HiX my signature, in presence of tWo Witnesses.
